Building smaller homes in currently occupied subdivisions is a bad idea for reasons cited by previous letter-to-the- editor writers. Oahu is an island and therefore has finite land and space. Build up, not out — condominiums, not houses, are the optimal solution. And to keep added cars off the road, build said high-rises in proximity to rail stations.
As for the statement “studio to three-bedroom units can be installed for $80,000 each,” I am going to need a source for that claim (“Grant developers access to vacant Honolulu lots,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, March 29). That figure sounds very, very low.
